Chapter 112: Resettlement of Refugees

"As for the place of placement? I have a suggestion. Yan Xiong stood up and said with a smile, he has been entrenched in this place of Wu County for many years, and he knows the terrain in the mountains very well.

"Are you talking about Luerpo? I think that is the only place that can accommodate these tens of thousands of people. Liu Haini, who is also very familiar with the terrain, said.

This Luerpo is a special place in Wu County, located in the vicinity of Wu County, where several mountains are connected, is a large area, located on the three waists of a flat land.

This is a place that few people have visited before. For bandits, the place was level, though. However, the mountain road is relatively easy to walk, and the terrain is not suitable for defense, so it is not suitable to build a cottage.

For ordinary people, this place is relatively high. It was a great effort to climb up, so no one wanted to go to this place, except for a few hunters and woodcutters who came here by chance to make a living.

As a result, this place became the best place to settle refugees from various counties. Even if these refugees live here and grow crops, they will not have too much contact with the people of Wu County, so they are not easy to cause infection.

Yang Yun and the county officials, together with Yan Xiong and Liu Haini, came to Luerpo to check and were very satisfied with the terrain here. As a result, this population gathering place in Wu County, which was second only to the county seat, was settled in this way.

Hearing the order to let them go, these soldiers in Wu County finally breathed a sigh of relief. More and more displaced people are coming to the border of several counties, and if they really let them kill all these people here, these soldiers will not be able to bear it.

Hearing that Wu County was willing to accept them, these displaced people cheered. As for asking them to go to the designated place, they are not allowed to come into contact with the people of Wu County at will, and they can fully accept it. As long as there is a chance to save one's life, these difficulties are acceptable.

Twenty or thirty thousand people are to be placed in the mountains. This is no small matter. Yang Yun mobilized the people of Wu County to prepare some daily necessities in advance and transport the things that were temporarily set up in tents.

For the people of Wu County, they are very reluctant to accept these infected people. If someone else were to arrange this this time, they would definitely not cooperate. However, His Royal Highness King Wu issued an announcement, and although the people were extremely unwilling, everyone still took active action.

Tens of thousands of people have to live in this Luerpo, and the necessities of life are also an astronomical amount. Some of the things that Yang Yun asked people to prepare in advance were almost consumed in a hurry.

Fortunately, there were a lot of dead trees and grass in the mountains, so simple tents were set up one after another. To be able to cover the rain and sun in the sky, everyone has been satisfied. These are nothing, the most important thing is medicine and food.

Because he already had experience in treating the plague of the people of Wu County, Yang Yun asked people to prepare hundreds of cauldrons on the hillside. Every day, it is boiled non-stop to cure the plague of the decoction.

In the past two years, the crop harvest in Wu County has increased greatly. As a result, the county government and most of the people have some surplus food at home. But suddenly tens of thousands of mouths have been added, and this bit of food is still not enough.

Thankfully, the refugees also brought some food. Under Yang Yun's supervision, the county officials of several nearby counties also provided some grain. However, for these tens of thousands of people, this food is far from enough.

The excerpt asking the imperial court to allocate grain for disaster relief has been sent out for a long time, and there has been no major war in Dafu in recent years. Therefore, the grain depot of the imperial court is now relatively sufficient. Thinking about it, Emperor Fu should agree to his son's request and send them food and medicinal herbs.

Wu County is indeed too far away from Xijing, and this coming and going will delay a lot of time. So at present, how to survive this period of time is the biggest problem in front of Yang Yun and others.

Let the wealthy households and ordinary people in the county town lend the surplus grain to the county government, and not only will it be returned in full in the coming year, but the excess interest will be returned. This move has caused a lot of controversy among the people of Wu County.

With trust in Yang Yun, someone in the county finally took action and sent bags of grain to the county office.

In addition, Yang Yun sent some grain and vegetable seeds with a short maturity period to Luerpo, so that these displaced people could open up wasteland on the hillside.

Due to the large number of humans who came here, the birds and animals that used to live in this area have suffered. These hateful people not only occupy their own homeland of survival. Several hunting teams were also formed, and many of the wild animals here became food for humans.

However, the flesh of these beasts was far from enough to fill the stomachs of these tens of thousands of displaced people, so some people hit the idea of thousands of miles of sea, thousands of miles of icebergs and snowy peaks. Here, they endured hardships and dangers, even at the cost of their lives, and hunted many miles of prey.

In addition, many plants in the mountains have also become food rations for these displaced people. In the previous world, Yang Yun's family studied medicine for several generations, and he himself followed his grandfather to the mountains to collect various herbs since he was a child, so he still studied the properties of plants.

Which plants are edible and which foods are poisonous, under normal circumstances, Yang Yun can distinguish clearly at a glance. Under his guidance, these displaced people dug up a lot of wild vegetables in the mountain people, which greatly relieved the pressure on food. Although these wild vegetables may not all be delicious, in this case, the homeless people do not have too high requirements, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it is the best.

However, it is also good for these displaced people to live in the mountains, because the air quality here is very good. In addition, to get water here, the well water can only be dug in a deep well, so everyone's drinking water is healthy and free of any pollution, which greatly reduces the possibility of plague cross-infection.

When treating the plague of the people of Wu County before, Yang Yun and the others had accumulated a lot of experience. So this time, boiled out of the Chinese medicine. The effect is very obvious, and the condition of many displaced people is quickly relieved.

Being able to continue to live is the biggest goal of these displaced people at present. Their condition improved, and they immediately gained confidence. So after that, setting up tents, digging wild vegetables, and planting food, everyone's enthusiasm is even higher.

Although everyone worked hard, as time went by, trouble slowly approached everyone. First of all, the medicinal materials are basically used up, and in order to treat the plague in the hands of the people of Wu County, a lot of medicinal materials have been used, and many have also been purchased in the surrounding counties.

But now tens of thousands of displaced people need these drugs, and they are seriously unable to make ends meet. Everyone searched around in the mountains, and almost every tree and every inch of soil was turned into a piece of grass. However, the herbs that cured the plague were almost cleanly dug up.

Many patients who are seriously ill have been out of danger by taking Chinese medicine, but with the lack of medicines, their conditions have recurred. There are even some seriously ill patients who can only leave this world unwillingly.

All this made the doctors led by Yang Yun anxious. They racked their brains and found some drugs to replace, but the properties of these substituted drugs were much worse, so this situation made the displaced people in Luerpo slowly become more and more difficult.

In addition to medicines, food is also a big problem. Tens of thousands of displaced people, tens of thousands of mouths, and the food consumed every day can be piled up into a small mountain. Soon, the food was exhausted, and the birds and animals in the mountains were almost wiped out by them, and the wild vegetables and bark in the mountains were almost gone.

From the initial two meals a day, it slowly became one meal a day, and finally developed into one meal a day. There are even some ordinary people who can only eat one meal in three days. But now, even such treatment is almost gone.

All this situation made Yang Yun and others anxious, and they mobilized the masses to do everything possible to raise some food, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

These displaced people from Luerpo first counted on Wu County officials to treat their illnesses and bring them food. But as food became scarce and medicine became scarce, they slowly became irritable.

As a result, there began to be fights, killings, and even large-scale fights for some food, and many people lost their lives in these fights.

In the end, it even developed to the point that some people secretly used the corpses of these killed people as food.

Yang Yun and his subordinates racked their brains and thought of many ways, but in the face of hunger, many people, some of the most despicable aspects of human nature were vividly displayed among the homeless.

Just when everyone was about to lose their hold and collapse, there was finally good news that the first batch of food and medicinal materials for disaster relief in the imperial court had finally arrived.

The fact that these medicinal herbs and grains could be delivered to Wu County so quickly was also due to the wisdom of his father and the ministers of the court. After receiving Yang Yun's urgent request, they had a heated discussion and soon decided to allocate material relief to the victims.

But what is in front of them is that Wu County is indeed too far away from Xijing, and if materials are transferred from Xijing to Wu County, it will be delayed a lot of time.

In the end, Emperor Fu ordered to notify the county seats, state capitals and other areas around Wu County in the form of fast horses. Let them allocate food and medicinal materials nearby as quickly as possible, and quickly send them to Wu County.

When the first batch of grain and medicinal herbs was delivered to Wu County, Yang Yun was excited. Even though his personality surpassed the calmness of his peers, he couldn't control his excitement at this time, and in the county office, he jumped and jumped with excitement with Chi Liju Yuanguang and others.

With food and medicinal herbs, the displaced people in Luerpo also see hope. Their irritable mood also slowly calmed down. began to obey the arrangements of the county government as before, opened up wasteland and cultivated land step by step, and cooperated with the county government to govern.

After the first batch of food and medicine arrived, slowly, the medicinal materials and food transferred by Emperor Fu from all over Dafu were also sent in a steady stream, which greatly relieved the pressure on Yang Yun and others.

Immediately after that, the good news kept coming. After the displaced people arrived at Luerpo, the first batch of fast-ripening grain planted in the reclaimed wasteland finally matured. This made these tens of thousands of displaced people completely relieved, and finally they didn't have to worry about starving to death here.
